There were cutbacks at Cox yesterday. Chris Krok and his producer were let go, and the word is that Herman Cain will take 7-10pm, and Savage will be bumped to 10p-1a.
I understand that B 98.5 FM's traffic guy Jason Durden was also let go. Those are the only ones I know of.
I guess when Jordan Graye started working at the sister station under an alias, warning bells should have went off.
First Christy Henry was fired from B98.5, now WSB-AM suffers. Although I never liked Krok or his views, I don't like to see him or anyone else out on the street.
Oddly enough, B98.5 overnight DJ Larry Lane is still there. You would figure overnight positions would be the first to go.
I thought Cox was printing money with their flagship cluster. I wonder if the tanking of the subprime loan market and high gas prices has anything to do with this. (People are spending less, which means advertisers are making less money, which generally means that advertisers aren't buying as many ads as they have been).
This is occuring at Christmas, which is not a good time of year for anyone to lose a job (Remember last year at CC with 94.9).
It makes you wonder if Clear Channel secretly bought Cox?
